New Delhi: The role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning recorded a 42% year-on-year growth in June 2025, highlighting the monthly economic review released by the Ministry of Economy.
The report also states that employment at the Global Capacity Centre (GCCS) has also increased by 9% year-on-year, reflecting India's growing role in global service delivery. “We saw a 42% year-over-year growth in the role of AI and machine learning,” he said.
The report further highlighted that in June 2025, new employment noted significant improvements in employment opportunities. The overall labor market remains stable, with white-collar employment showing strong rebounds supported by double-digit growth each year.
Formal job creation continues to gain momentum, with the Employees' Affordable Fund Organization (EPFO) hitting an all-time high in May 2025 with net member additions.
The department also cited the discovery of Naukri JobSpeak in June 2025. This confirmed a resurgence in the white-collar job market in India. The employment index rose to 2,854 in June 2025, with a 10.5% increase in recruitment activities across sectors, cities and experience levels.
The increase in employment was led by the insurance sector, with a 32% jump in the previous era. After that, it was hospitality and 21% travel, 19% for BPO and ITE, 16% for real estate, 15% for oil and gas/electricity, 11% for healthcare, and 10% for education and FMCG.
India's manufacturing and services sector also continues to contribute to job creation. Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) Employment Subindex has remained in the Expansion Zone for 16 consecutive times. Although manufacturing employment growth has increased, the services sector has eased slightly from the record level achieved in May 2025.
An analysis of new subscriber data from the EPFO in May 2025 showed that 59.5% of new members were in the 18-25-year-old group, 22.8% were 26-35 years old, and 16.6% were over 35 years old.
The report concluded that formal job creation and increased participation in the workforce reflects consistent efforts by the government to create employment opportunities for the country's ambitious workforce. (ani)
